Is my ex-boyfriend entitled to money back that he put into my house while living there?
Full Question:
My boyfriend at the time a year and half ago put money into my house that only I own, only my name on everthing. We now split up and I asked him to move out. He has not paid me for rent to live there for 3 years. Now he claims I need to pay him $50,000. I gave him about $10,000 already. There is maybe about $30,000 - $35,000 worth of receipts of supplies that were purchased by him that did go into my house. We also have an 18 month old daughter who is living with me. What will happen? I agreed to pay him back with only my tax returns for the supplies. He went to a lawyer today. I do not want to sell my house and can not take out a home equity loan due to my poor credit score. Is there anything I can do??

Answer:
The answer depends on the nature of the agreement for his improvements to the house. Perhaps you can work out a payment plan. Based on the information provided, or nature of the matter, we are unable to assist over the Internet. It would probably be best that you consult a local attorney for assistance with this, who can review all the documents and facts involved.
